    Hello everyone. Excited to be a part of this great forum. I just traded in my 2018 4Runner for a 2017 Tundra. I would have liked a 2018 Tundra, but it was a little out of my budget range at this time. I loved the 4Runner, but my growing family does not allow the flexibility that I needed. The 4Runner is great, but it does lack power and with the lift and 33" wheels, the mpg was no better than what I get in my current Tundra. I'm really loving the truck, but I already see a few mods that I need to make. I will be posting my 1st mod on the lack of illumination on the dashboard gauge cluster. I think this will help.

    Again, thanks for the add and I'm looking forward to chatting with you great Toyota folks!
